My daughter attended Little Wrens Day Nursery & Preschool since she was 8 months old and has recently just left to go to school.
For the past 4 years, Little Wrens was a big part of her life where she built strong, trustworthy relationships with the staff some of whom have been with her since her first
day. Little Wrens has helped my daughter develop in all areas which has enabled her to be the confident and independent little girl she is today. One thing that I really appreciated Little Wrens for was the opportunity to intergenerate with the elderly who live at the care home, this isn't something that other nurseries are able to do and the children and ladies and gents love it.

Brilliant, small nursery. Always feels personal and you get to know the staff and other children. My daughter loves the intergenerational sessions with the care home residents, music and movement activities and spending time with the ducks and chickens. She also enjoys forest school. There are plenty
of open days/events for parents to get involved in. You're kept updated via the app which is great.

Amazing nursery! My little boy went from 9 months to graduating at 4 last month and we have been so happy with the love and care he has been shown throughout. The staff at the nursery really care about the children and go above and beyond every day. One of my favourite things about Little Wrens is the
intergenerational time with the care home residents. My little boy loved that.

Very much recommended.
A wonderful setting - so happy with the care and support for my son, particularly in getting him school-ready.
Brilliant, friendly team who have the children’s needs at the forefront.
We also loved the meals which were suitable but also pushed him out of his comfort zone.
Great
value and loved the app where you get lots of pics and updates on how they’re getting on.
For a small setting, it has some lovely, diverse outdoor spaces, with access to the nursing home garden which is huge and wonderful, and they’ve utilised it excellently for the children.

My grandchildren have been attending Little Wrens since 2019. One was nearly 2 and the other 14 weeks old. They both continued attending full-time until they each left to start school.
The care given to both children was above and beyond. Not only did they support the children through some very difficult
times they also supported the rest of the family.
They are amazing people giving amazing care.
The children have benefited greatly from the staff being a part of their lives.

Both of my children have attended Little Wrens and have loved it. We have decided to keep our youngest at Little Wrens rather than send her to the nearby primary school nursery. We are very happy with the support, play, care and education provided to the children. In particular, the Forest Schools and
the intergenerational activities with the local care home residents are highlights of the provision.

Little Wrens is an amazing place to leave your little one. The setting is safe, and secure and demonstrates high standards of governance. Staff are friendly, caring and focused on your little one at all times. The nursery offers a range of toys and activities both inside and outside all year round.
Play is fun, educational or both, and my little one always comes home with a smile. Food is nutritious and varied and sleep/naps are encouraged/supported to make sure your little one gets everything they need. I couldn't be happier with our nursery choice and I'm so pleased we found Little Wrens.

We’re new to the area but my daughter has settled in really well. All the staff are absolutely lovely and do a fantastic job in caring for and teaching my little one. Communication on the app is spot on. My daughter is always so happy upon collection, she always has a great day.

My son has been attending Little Wrens for nearly a year now and I honestly cannot speak highly enough of this great little nursery. The staff very quickly helped him settle in and from the first day, I have felt comfortable leaving him in their care, confident he will be looked after and undertake
a wide variety of activities both educational and fun. Communication with the nursery is very easy and staff always have time to chat or address any concerns or answer questions at drop-off and pick-ups. The nursery is attached to a residential home and the little ones regularly visit the old people, which I think is really beneficial for everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.933)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.933) out of 10 for Little Wrens Day Nursery and Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.933 for Little Wrens Day Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.933

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Wrens Day Nursery and Pre-school is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
